Ron Paul claimed that there are more bases overseas while Obama is president than there were during the Bush time.

What source(s) can provide evidence for this? Is there a website that lists current military bases and also the ones that existed during the Bush time? If you had to write a paper for school and cite sources, which sources would you cite to back Ron Paul's claim?

Do you have the reference speech from Ron so we can see when and in what context he was speaking ?

I know that Obama just sent (or will soon send) troops to Australia -- I think for the first time. And I recall that a new (very small) base was fairly recently opened in Ecuador (though I think their current leftist president sent 'em packing). So, there are a few little things like that. But I don't know enough to say one way or another.
